I know it's hard to believe that what you're feeling isn't actually going to harm you but it's true. I have had panic attacks most of my life, I used to think I had a bad heart because it hurt so often. Fortunately for me, my heart is not bad just my nerves. So keep hanging on, we're all still here. And I will try to find where that info is located. Take care.

THANK YOU Dove for the reassurance. I need it so bad being since these doctors just dont know what to say. They are actually doing a study at John Hopkins University on side effects that damage the brain from ecstacy use you have to stay in the hospital for a week. Its free and maybe they would know more about what is going on than these regular doctors do. I just dont forsee this going away it has been 6 months and I was a completely normal person before all of this. I just more and more think there is some kindo f damage ya now? Maybe thats all just part of the anxiety. I cant get this weird feeling out of my head. I sometimes get this weird dark tunnel vision and feel really light headed and almost pass out. Is that anxiety too? It happens for no reason. One other thing, my head seems to feel worse the day after i drink. I feel more horrible than usual the next day., Not just hangover stuff. Just like my nervous system is all screwed up. I wish they could just keep me on something that worked for me. At least 80 percent of the time anyway. Ativan. I guess they say coming off of it makes your anxiety actually worse than better. If ativan works does that mean that zoloft will eventually work as good? God I hope so. I need a miracle here. I hope to God that this is all gonna calm down and my brain will return to normal. what do you think my chances of that happening are? Dazed and Confused, Amy
